I am hoping they are saving themselves for their semi-final in the week.  We will never get a better chance of winning this.  We need to get inside their heads and wish them luck in the semi, before the game, and tell them we intend to kick them all over the park.

Have you seen any of them play much? I haven't so happy to defer to you if you know better than me. Maybe they're not playing because he doesn't think they're ready yet? Playing in a team that's lost four in a row might not be the best atmosphere to develop them.

Hoping we get a couple of wins to ease the pressure then maybe give one or two of the kids a chance to shine.

You’d certainly think that they’ll have one eye on their semi in mid week but they still look fairly strong. It’ll be a tough game and a point would be a decent return to stop the rot.

Hopefully we’ll target Soyuncu who has a mistake in him. Need a big lung busting game from Ollie to try and pin them back a bit. Maddison is the clear danger as he’ll find pockets of space in between defence and midfield, especially as we’d hoped Marv would be in there to help us protect that area.
Once again midfield battle will be key, who knows what we’ll get from McGinn and Luiz.

When the movement is good around him we’ve all seen what he can do. He sees things others don’t. When we can’t string two passes together and constantly give the ball away he ends up dropping deeper and deeper. It happened to Jack too for a while until we found a way to use him properly in the final third. We are wasting this massive opportunity to maximize what he brings.

Little to show for dominance...
Leicester 0-0 Aston Villa

Leicester have currently had 69% of the ball and are largely in charge.

They've completed around 90% of their passes while Villa are down at 63%, pointing to a fragmented display so far.

Villa though are forcing their hosts wide a lot - as you can see from the volume of play on the flanks. Perhaps because of this, Leicester have had just one shot.

This is a worryingly flat performance from us so far.  We don't look like we have a clue how to play together and the Bailey miss aside (which was a fun up by their centre half, rather than anything we created), I cannot see how we are trying to score a goal. 

Bailey looks like a massive waste of money on this evidence.

A complete waste of talent.

I just don’t understand what the underlying tactics are here.

We’re not setup to counter because he clearly want to play it out of the back. However, we cannot handle their high press and we continue to put Emi in the shit and have him lump it forward. Our press is weak and we can barely keep the ball across the halfway line.

Defense is slow, midfield is getting out run and the forwards become more isolated as Leicester continue to press.

We look completely devoid of the confidence that was very evident for a few games. It’s like the recent defeats and then the battering we took vs Spurs even though we were really excellent in the first half has just sucked every bit of life and joy out of our play.

Coutinho, Konsa, and Bailey all need to be hooked. The longer Gerrard sits there and ignores what we can all see, the more culpable he becomes

Yes. He is not making it easy for himself (or for his proponents!). I am very surprised Konsa starts.

Hopefully they wanted to keep it tight in the first half and avoid conceeding early goals

Seems we're just playing for a 0-0.

Really worrying we can't impose ourselves on a Leicester team who aren't even that bothered about the prem currently.

Final third still looks a mess so certainly hard to be optimistic about next season as a good DM won't solve everything.

Likes of Ramsey and Coutinho barely touched the ball and Bailey just looks way off the pace.

More lovely in-match analysis from the Beeb. It's what we pay our license for!

Quote
Villa building...
Leicester 0-0 Aston Villa

For all their possession Leicester continue to struggle to get players involved higher up the pitch. Their two central defenders - Wesley Fofana and Caglar Soyuncu - have seen more ball than anyone in the side by a long way.

Villa's defensive lines remain well drilled and are ensuring Leicester can't pack much punch.

Youri Tielemans is a good example of the frustration Leicester face. He's won seven of his seven duels. But with the ball he's peripheral and has so far created nothing.

Villa are getting more and more into this but their foundations have allowed them to do so.

Sky reckon it was Chrisene who came on.

Innumerate wankers.
Can't distinguish between 45 and 47 on the back of their shirts.

Buendia has had more input in the 9 mins he's been on the pitch than Coutinho the whole game!

If he (and Chambers!) don't start against Norwich, Gerrard can go fuck himself! Feel so sorry for Emi especially.

Where the hell has 7 minutes come from?

We've woken up the last few minutes, Buendia with a bit of energy.

I said to my wife that I’d open a bottle of wine at full time.

This is merely delaying me going and opening it.
